Suella Braverman sacked as home secretary by Rishi Sunak after pro-Palestine march row
Inflation has fallen to 4.6 per cent in October, putting the government on track to meet its target to halve inflation by the end of the year.
The latest UK inflation figures show a sharp slowdown in the annual pace of price rises, easing pressure on the Bank of England to increase interest rates.
This comes as Suella Braverman launched a blistering attack on the prime minister last night after being sacked as home secretary for a series of controversial and highly inflammatory remarks about homeless people and the police.
Ms Braverman accused the prime minister of “betrayal” and failing to deliver on key policy areas such as illegal migration, in an explosive letter designed to cause him maximum damage.
She also accused Mr Sunak, who she described as “weak”, of leaving the country in an “impossible position” with no “credible Plan B” just hours before a crunch court ruling on his flagship Rwanda plan.
The Supreme Court will on Wednesday decide whether or not the government’s controversial plan to send migrants to Rwanda, which has been under review for 18 months, is lawful. Ongoing legal battles have meant there have yet to be any migrants sent to the East African nation under the policy.
